Package: phpbb3
Version: 3.0.2-4
Severity: important
I’ve faced a dpkg-reconfigure phpbb deb package configuration issue:
I was prompted to pass in the credentials for my MySQL password right
after I’ve selected the MySQL as my preferred database back engine.
I’ve feeded my MySQL root password as well as my preferred forum
database name, however the database installation failed because, somehow
the configuration procedure tried to connect to my MySQL database with
the htcheck user.
I guess this has to be a bug in the package itself or something from my
previous installation misconfigured the way the debian database backend
configuration was operating.
My assumption is that my previously installed htcheck package or
something beforehand I’ve done right after the htcheck and htcheck-php
packages installation.
after the package configuration failed still the package had a status of
properly installed when I reviewed it with dpkg
I’ve thought about trying to manually reconfigure it using the
dpkg-reconfigure debian command and I gave it a try like that:
debian:~# dpkg-reconfigure phpbb3
This time along with the other fields I’ve to fill in the ncurses
interface I was prompted for a username before the password prompted
appeared.
Logically I tried to fill in the root as it’s my global privileges MySQL
allowed user.
However that didn’t helped at all and again the configuration tried to
send the credentials with user htcheck to my MySQL database server.
The only work around to the problem is to manually create the database
and the username.
Kind Regards,

Sure, but Squeeze is the next stable, hopefully available soon.

Thanks for the information, we'll have to double check if we can
reproduce this upgrade error in a Lenny's environment.
Cheers
